What do rhythm based games come under? They're the hardest, by far. If you really think about, how many times do you play the same song over and over and over and most people still can't beat it on it's hardest difficulty.

Imagine any other game like that, imagine playing the same level over and over and over and still knowing you had no hope in hell of doing it on the hardest setting, let alone getting a good rating.

If talking multiplayer, RTS definitely takes the most skill input, racing/shooting/action rpg are all twitch based. Turn based gives you a decent amount of time to think about each move, which eases the requirements of fast use of skill like in rts.

Multiplayer RTS (Total War). Now that's something where you have to think. As Sun Tzu said: "It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle."

FPS are very reaction based (And an extreme amount of teamwork for games such as Battlefield, there's nothing more epic than a squad talking on skype or something, flying into a base with a fully loaded Blackhawk, dropping off 3 soldiers and the chopper stays in the air giving support)

RTS wins though

RTS, because there you need most skill (especially when playing online). FPS online, not so much. It's more run, point, shoot, capture flag (or something else), run, point, shoot... infinity
Like people who cant hack it in SC2 for instance go to blow off steam in some FPS or whatever. It says alot

Definitely RTS. To play it at a high level it just requires so much micro tasking it's overwhelming for most players. Just the shear amount of knowledge you need to play it well can be overwhelming too.

By the way - for those who's talking about RTS games and mentioning SC or something - I'd like to introduce you to basically any of the total war games. Seriously the best RTS games, by far ^^
